We welcome you to Jazz Vespers every Sunday at 4 p.m. – If you have not been, come check it out!  A fully professional Jazz Quartet leads the music of the service which also includes a short meditation on the scriptures for the day, silence and prayers for our common life together.

There are volunteer opportunities at the WestMark Food Pantry.  Each month we see some 2000 families pass through our doors to receive surplus food items from the food bank.  It is a vital ministry for many in our area who live in the area ‘down the bluff’ from Moss Avenue.  You can give your service through lending a hand with the deliveries. Come lend a hand if you can. Delivery dates for November are:

Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 11:30 a.m.
